Was planning on getting a TrackIR system for use with GTR. Are there any reasons why the new TrackIR 4 system wouldn't work as well or better with GTR as compared to the TrackIR 3?

Is the TrackIR control code within a GTR .PLR file pretty much independant of the TrackIR hardware version being used?

thanks for any and all responses

Hello:

Sorry for the delayed response here.

You should be fine with the TrackIR 3 or the 4. Please keep in mind that the TIR 3 will require Vector Expansion to take advantage of 6DOF view control, where the 4 comes with it standard.

Great, thanks Jim. I have a TIR4 on order as of now...

Sorry I am late

Ripps TIR4 works GREAT in both GTR and GTL.

If you go into C:\GTL\UserData\[RSms]Barred (in my case for GTL but it would be simular in GTR) and do a 'Find' for TrackIR then copy the following over all of the TIR info in your .plr file:-

TrackIR Pitch Down Limit="-0.15000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0, Default: -0.15
TrackIR Pitch Up Limit="0.05000" // Min: 0, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.05
TrackIR Yaw Left Limit="-0.80000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0, Default: -0.40
TrackIR Yaw Right Limit="0.80000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.40
TrackIR Roll Left Limit="-0.07500" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.075
TrackIR Roll Right Limit="0.07500" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.075
TrackIR Move Left Limit="-0.05000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.05
TrackIR Move Right Limit="0.05000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.05
TrackIR Move Down Limit="-0.05000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.05
TrackIR Move Up Limit="0.03000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.03
TrackIR Move Forward Limit="-0.25000" // Min: -1.00, Max: 0.00, Default: -0.25
TrackIR Move Back Limit="0.25000" // Min: 0.00, Max: 1.00, Default: 0.25

That will give you a more realistic range of view over your shoulder.

Merry Christmas.

Excellent, thanks Barred! Much appreciated, as all your posts are to these great forums.

Merry Christmas and all the best in '06
